A bacteriophage specific for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans serotype b, able to kill the bacterium within a biofilm, was isolated. Random mutagenesis of this phage rendered a bacteriophage able to kill 99% of the bacteria within a biofilm. This is the first report of a biocontrol experiment against A. actinomycetemcomitans.
分离到一株能特异性裂解伴放线放线杆菌 b 型的噬菌体,该噬菌体能在生物膜内杀死细菌。该噬菌体经随机突变后,能杀死生物膜内 99%的细菌。这是首次报道针对伴放线放线杆菌的生物防治实验。
